Auburn defensive analyst Kyle Krantz is expected to leave for a new job at South Carolina on Will Muschamp's staff, a person familiar with the decision tells AL.com.

Krantz, who was high on Muschamp's list of helpers on Auburn's staff, is expected to be the Gamecocks' quality control assistant on defense.

The departure will mark the fifth defection from Auburn to join Muschamp's staff at South Carolina.

Secondary coach Travaris Robinson, an Auburn alum, left in December to become Muschamp's defensive coordinator and was followed by offensive analyst Bobby Bentley, who will coach running backs for the Gamecocks. Linebackers coach Lance Thompson left Auburn after serving as the interim defensive coordinator in the Birmingham Bowl.

Krantz was at Auburn for one year after serving two seasons as a quality control staff member on Muschamp's staff at Florida.

Auburn hired away LSU defensive coordinator Kevin Steele to coach the defense on Wednesday. Steele has not yet announced his staff at Auburn.
